From the go 1.19 release notes:
Command and LookPath no longer allow results from a PATH search to be found relative to the current directory. This removes a common source of security problems but may also break existing programs that depend on using, say, exec.Command("prog") to run a binary named prog (or, on Windows, prog.exe) in the current directory. See the os/exec package documentation for information about how best to update such programs.
Older versions of git don't support the -b option yet. However, no version of
git complains about the -c option, even when the init.defaultBranch config is
not supported.
For older git versions we won't be able to support any other main branch than
"master", so hard-code that in Init.
This doesn't fix anything for older versions yet; see the next commit for that.
By constructing an arg vector manually, we no longer need to quote arguments
Mandate that args must be passed when building a command
Now you need to provide an args array when building a command.
There are a handful of places where we need to deal with a string,
such as with user-defined custom commands, and for those we now require
that at the callsite they use str.ToArgv to do that. I don't want
to provide a method out of the box for it because I want to discourage its
use.
For some reason we were invoking a command through a shell when amending a
commit, and I don't believe we needed to do that as there was nothing user-
supplied about the command. So I've switched to using a regular command out-
side the shell there
If the remote name contains special regex-chars,
the compilation of the regex might fail.
Quoting the remoteName ensures that all special chars
in the remoteName are properly escaped before compiling
the regex.
